This week, we have two revolutionaries: Sonja Foss and Karen Foss, twin sisters and partners in the feminist revolution. Originally, they grew up in Eastern Oregon in a very traditional family with traditional parents. As twins, they modeled equality and embodied feminism before they had the language to label it. Now, both Sonja and Karen are rhetorical scholars in the communications discipline, working to tangibly create the feminist reality we envision for the future.Karen and Sonja share stories from their childhood that exemplify their evolution into feminism today. Together, they also share their insights into how feminism functions in academia and in various spaces within society as well. Feminism, to them, means learning to deal with and transform the intersectional systems of oppression, challenging the ideology of oppression as a characteristic of culture. In addition, they share some change strategies and examples of what it looks like to cultivate a positive feminist reality and find the joy in feminism again.Some Questions I Ask: Tell me about where you grew up.

For 27 years, Karen Foss was a familiar face for many people in the St. Louis region. She worked as a TV anchorwoman for KSDK (Channel 5) from 1979 until her retirement in 2006. Host Don Marsh talks to her about her role in news coverage and her take on the industry today.

Karen Foss ser det som en gave og styrke at mestre både grønlandsk og dansk. Det er hendes levevej. Hun bevæger sig hjemmevant på Ilulissats klipper og i København, hvor hun viser turister rundt. Karen, 50 år, arbejder som turistfører og rejseleder. Hun elsker at favne sine kulturer Grønland og Danmark. Karen boede i Ilulissat de første 15 år af sit liv. Hendes mor var grønlænder,og faren var kommet til Ilulissat i 1950’erne for at åbne en købmandsforretning. Det blev den navnkundige Birger Hansens butik. Han var en mester i at kommunikere med folk, selv om hans grønlandske ikke var det bedste.  Derimod blev Karen dobbeltsproget. Hjemme talte hun mest dansk, og hun kom i dansk klasse. Men når hun lagde skoletasken og legede med børnene i kvarteret, så foregik det på grønlandsk. Ligesom hendes mormor og onkel, som boede i nærheden, kun talte grønlandsk. Og Karen elskede at være hos dem, og besøgte dem ofte. Familien valgte at flytte til Danmark, da Karen var 15 år, og det første år i dansk 10. klasse var lidt forvirrende. -Jeg synes dog, at der var en god og sund nysgerrighed, og det var ikke ubehageligt at være grønlænder blandt de danske unge. Kun en gang husker jeg en dreng, som sagde; Grønland, det er der, de slår babysæler ihjel. Jeg fortalte min far, hvad drengen havde sagt, for det undrede mig. Og min far sagde, at der slet ikke var babysæler i Grønland. De var i Canada, og at det slet ikke var noget, jeg havde med at gøre. Og det, synes jeg, var rigtigt af ham, fortæller Karen og fortsætter: -Det var en meget sammentømret klasse, og det var først, da jeg kom i gymnasiet, hvor alle var nye, at jeg fandt min plads her. Indtil vi flyttede hertil, havde jeg kun få gange været i Danmark, i et sommerhus i Nordsjælland, i zoologisk have og Tivoli og den slags. Karen blev nysproglig student, og hun vidste ikke helt hvad hun ville. Hun var lidt skoletræt, og karaktererne var ikke de højeste. Hun havde nok brugt de første år på at tilpasse sig den nye kultur. Hun valgte at finde en læreplads og gerne en, som havde forbindelse med Grønland. -Jeg vidste jo, at man ikke kan kappe bånd til sin kultur, og jeg var så heldig at få en læreplads ved Grønlands Rejsebureau som kontorelev, siger hun i podcasten. Efter et par år i København fik hun tilbudt job i Nuuk. Det var stadig rejse- og turistbranchen, som tiltrak. Hvad der skulle have været et kort ophold, blev til ni år i den grønlandske hovedstad. Hun mødte sine børns far og fik en søn og en datter. -Det handler om at finde en balance mellem Danmark og pulsen her og så Grønland og det nære og den storslåede natur, og jeg savnede Danmark, siger hun, der vendte tilbage i 2002 til København, da børnene var tre og seks år. Så de har gået i dansk skole. Karens søn bor i dag i Nuuk. Årene er gået, og som rejseleder opholder Karen sig hver sommer i Grønland. Og det er sådan hun bedst finder sig selv i de to lande og de to kulturer. -Hvor Danmark har en høj puls og en masse aktiviteter, så er Grønland stadig det nære, en nærværenhed som man kan savne i Danmark. Bare det at gå ud og sidde og nyde naturen og høre ingenting, det kan jeg ikke leve uden, siger Karen Foss. Her er et billede af Karen og hendes barndomsveninde, der også hedder Karen. Bagved kan man se deres barndomshjem i Ilulissat. Karens familie boede øverst til venstre i den blå opgang, og veninde Karen og hendes familie boede nederst til venstre. -Når jeg tænker på min barndomsgade er det med en følelse af et sammenhold med mange børn. Vi kom hjem fra skole, lagde skoletasken og gik ud og legede. Efterhånden som andre fik fri, blev gruppen bare flere og flere. Vi legede indtil vi skulle hjem og spise. Nogen gange måtte vi komme ud efter aftensmaden til kl. 8 om aftenen. Og om sommeren, hvor det var lyst, var der ingen tidsbegrænsning, siger Karen Foss Hansen.

It is a fact. It is harder to lose weight the older you get. But there is some hope. There are a few things that you can do to help mitigate the problem. Listen in to see how. Kyle and Jeff also visit with Michelle Graves and Karen Foss about how the ambassador program at the Huntsman World Senior Games helps to foster worldwide peace, health and friendship.
